Rabid gun fire bounces off the walls of this hospital as the group stared at surveillance cameras.

Scaly monsters travels around the halls on all fours, groaning and screeching.

Odette ran a hand through her hair. She sat in a spinning chair, bouncing her leg as she bit her lips nervously. God--it felt as if the universe saw the party and taped a sign that said "Kick Me!" On their backs.

The lights flickered like strobe lights, on and off before the power completely shut down.

The group let out a huff of air filled with disbelief.

Dr. Owens laid down a blue print of the hospital, drawing an X in the room they were in. "We're here", He says. "This is the nearest exit", Circling in a bright red pen to somewhere downstairs.

"But if we make it there, there is still no way out", Dr. Owens continues.

"What do you mean?" Jim asked, staring at the doctor.

"The locks, they're fail secure. If there is a black out or power outage the building immediately goes into lock down."

"Couldn't it be unlocked?"

"Someone has to reset the breakers."

"Where are the breakers?" Hopper asked.

Dr. Owens flipped through the blue prints. "Three floors down, basement."

And in a blink Hopper was making his way to the door. "Where do you think you're going?" Bob turned around, staring at the male.

"To reset the breakers."

"Okay then what?" Bob asked, almost laughing.

"We get out of this damn hospital."

"No. The power turns back on", Bob argues. "If you want to unlock the doors, you have to reboot the entire computer system, then override the security codes with a manual imput." He explained, hopper looked at him deadpanned.

"How do I even do that?" Hopper asked.

"You can't", Bob simply said. "Not unless you know basic!"

Hopper clenched his jaw, glaring. "What the hell does that mean?"

"Its computer programming language", Mike and Odette spoke in unison.

Jim sighed, "Teach me."

Bob scoffed sarcasm dripping his voice when he says; "Here I'll tell you in French too? How about German--What do you think this is your grandma's cooking recipe??"
